Description

Public Enemy (1931, dir.William Wellman)
No VS. Few to no splices. A little wear, some source flaws. Very watchable print of an important film. See pix for print quality. No VS!
An early, great gangster film, from the beginning of the genre. Contains this quintessential James Cagney scene:
Tom Powers
: [
Tom shuffles to the breakfast table in his pajamas. He's just finished a demanding call with Nails Nathan
] Ain't you got a drink in the house?
Kitty
: Well, not before breakfast, dear.
Tom Powers
: [
immediately annoyed
] ... I didn't ask you for any lip. I asked you if you had a drink.
Kitty
: [
sheepishly
] I know Tom, but I, I wish that...
Tom Powers
: ...there you go with that wishin' stuff again. I wish you was a wishing well. So that I could tie a bucket to ya and sink ya.
Kitty
: Well, maybe you've found someone you like better.
[
Tom is enraged and disgusted by her implication. He grimaces and shoves a grapefruit in her face as he leaves the table
